The Bucket List(s)

The Lists : How they got started, and where they are now.

P.S. –  If you’d like to start your own bucket list, check out a ton of tips here.

The Graduation Bucket List started a few days before my senior year in college. I managed to cross off so many items on my bucket list that to this day, I still have absolutely no idea how I graduated.

JK I do know, I didn’t sleep ;). I also don’t know how I was able to fund these bucket list items because I was so broke haha. Feel free to get inspired to have an epic senior year (like me) by creating your own graduation bucket list. Check out what items I crossed off here!


The Food Bucket List was born from me wanting to try three restaurants in Phoenix but as I got more and more suggestions, I knew I needed to create its own list.

At this point I decided to create a new list dedicated to restaurants and the Food Bucket List was born. At the time, I was only focusing on restaurants in Arizona but as I kept traveling to different states I kept trying new restaurants so now this Food Bucket List is open to all restaurants in the USA. Check out some of the items I’ve crossed off so far here!


The Hiking Bucket List was also born in a similar manner. I’ve always loved hiking and I did some hiking in college.

But it was hard to go out and make time for hiking with all of my exams, homework assignments and projects so I told myself that once I graduated I would conquer all of the mountains in Arizona. As of right now, I’ve done a few hikes in other states but I’m focusing on Arizona first. If you are an avid hiker, let me know and we can cross off a mountain from this giant list of hikes! Check out some of the mountains I’ve crossed off so far here!


The Travel Bucket List was also born from a similar manner.

Similar story to the Food and Hiking Bucket Lists. In the Life Bucket List, one of the items is to visit all 50 states in the United States. I thought to myself, ‘why limit myself to just the 50 states?’ That’s when I decided that I want to visit the entire world. I want to visit and see the entire world. The Travel Bucket List officially started when one of my best friends Maggie told me that she would be studying/living/working in Belgium for five months and she mentioned that we go visit her. SO WE DID. Right now the Traveling Bucket List includes Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, and Puerto Rico. Follow along on my journey as I visit more countries! The next place that I will be visiting will be South America in December! If you are in another country and would like for me to visit, feel free to invite me!
